  1. huh on Bill Gates Unleashes Swarm of Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    How is this different from mailing white dust to people?
    Isn't that terrorism?

    If the mosquitoes were indeed infected, it was a plain terrorist act.

  2. Re:Republican? on Senator Prods Microsoft On H-1B Visas After Layoff Plans · · Score: 1

    >Of course, another solution would be to allow them to use foreign labor and set a 90% tax on their profits and use it to provide free services to american citizens.

    Yeah, slavery again. Wasn't this tried once?

  3. from TFA on A Step Toward an Invisibility Cloak · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Now [that] this is becoming a more feasible technology, we will start to see a lot more of it."

    Heh, i thought the goal was to see a lot less of it :)

  4. Huh, madness on Anti-Piracy Firm Offering ISPs Money For Outing File-Sharers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A small ISP could fake the logs and sell out some of their customers.

  5. aye, i agree on A Sony Camera Running Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    It would be newsworthy only if a camera runs Vista!

  6. Re:Space and Medical discovery on Increasing Stem Cell Production For Faster Healing · · Score: 1

    After you die, you don't go anywhere. You stay here, your material will be recycled.
    The only parts of you what survives you are: your children, your books, the memories of you in other people.
    If you happen to die and your immortal soul survives, don't forget to phone back and tell us.

  7. thats BS on Windows 7 Leaked To Pirates By Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    You know that WGA is part of the system. No one deceived you to download it.
    You could have downloaded an Ubuntu install.
    So, whose fault and problem is this?

  8. Re:Makes sense on Google Tells Users To Drop IE6 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not 'different'. Just safer.

  9. Wine... on Walmart Photo Keychain Comes Preloaded With Malware · · Score: 2, Funny

    Another proof that Wine is not yet fully compatible :D

  10. Re:So once the big guys are down... on Google, Apple, Microsoft Sued Over File Preview · · Score: 1

    I doubt they will sue every single US citizen who would use that patch.
    Heck, they will lose this against Apple/Google/M$.
    They won't even reach the official linux distros.

  11. Re:Two words: on Google, Apple, Microsoft Sued Over File Preview · · Score: 1

    If they are so lame to burn their money this way. Who am i to deny them their right?
    File previews are definitely predating 2001.

  12. BG is still alive! on 10 Years of Baldur's Gate · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, it seems it is good only as a DAO advertisement. But still, it is good to see it is good for that, at least.

  13. Re:wow on If Programming Languages Were Religions · · Score: 1

    Wait a moment, i thought you talked about MODERATES.
    Seems like you forgot your starting point.
    Nice try :)

    I didn't say muslim extremists are the same as christian extremists.
    Obviously the muslim extremists are more violent and apparently less held back than present day christian extremists.

    Insult the queen and you get the same.

    Bug Yahoo and Altavista to put a cache-server in your garage.

  16. whoa slow down on Vista To XP Upgrade Triples In Price, Now $150 · · Score: 1

    Pretenderle is going anti microsoft now?
    I must have slept over a season or two.

  17. err, sorry on Will 2009 Be the Turning Point For SSDs? · · Score: 1

    fricking slashdot tricked me :( I thought you answered me, not an outmodded note, sorry.

  18. huh? on Will 2009 Be the Turning Point For SSDs? · · Score: 1

    Read the GP and PP carefully, then read your note again.

    GP said: if you have Vista, it is a good reason to buy SSD.
    PP said: yes, but why bother with Vista.
    You said what you said...

  19. haha on Mars Phoenix Lander's Ovens Were Destined To Fail · · Score: 1

    I wonder who lost their humour by marking this a troll.

  20. yes, but still there is no reason to use Vista on Will 2009 Be the Turning Point For SSDs? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It will be phased out (by Windows 7 or something similar) before XP will be phased out, so why bother.

  21. define arousing on UK ISPs Are Censoring Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Somehow i don't find naked child pictures arousing. Either they are cute, like in a family photo, or if abused, disgusting.

    This IS child pornography by my sense. It is just done by a 'socially accepted group'.
    The same picture would have burned out the fuses if not published by the Scorpions/Wikipedia but found on some porn ring's HD.

    Though i agree, this girl was probably not molested while doing that pic, so its effects are probably less than a clear cut child porn case.

  22. Re:Fuck em on RIAA's Oppenheim Tries To Protect MediaSentry · · Score: 1

    Isn't there a CEO or something like that who is responsible for the company entity as a whole?

  23. Re:Er. on Triple Helix — Designing a New Molecule of Life · · Score: 4, Interesting

    PNA might function better than DNA/RNA, but its cost (resources, time to create) is higher and couldn't be afforded by the first organisms.

    By your logic humans who wouldn't survive a nuclear war are less efficient than roaches that would survive it.
    Just, roaches will never start a nuclear war in the first place.

  24. Re:yes on Spore the Most Pirated Game of 2008 · · Score: 0

    Why do you want to pirate a game you don't want to play?
    If i ever pirate a game, it is because i want to play it, but for some reason i couldn't. (icky copy protection, not available in my country, etc)

  25. Re:Please don't tell me this surprises you. on Amazon Fights Piracy Tool, Creators Call It a Parody · · Score: 1

    Yes, probably Amazon was obliged to do this, still, if they don't, i would have missed this 'great' add-on.
